Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for connecting a spring to a band-like or cable-like transmission means.
- Such connections are required, e.g. in domestic appliances with a door which can be pivoted around a horizontal spindle and is mounted on a housing, for the purpose of compensating the weight of the door in order to facilitate the handling, in particular the closure, of the door for the user.
- the weight is compensated by a spring, usually a tension spring, which is fastened on a housing and is connected to the door directly or by transmission means.
- German Utility Model 74 32 124 discloses such a device for compensating the weight of a domestic-dishwasher door which is located at the front of the dishwasher, can be pivoted around a horizontal spindle, is mounted on a housing and is connected, by means of a band-like or cable-like transmission means, to a tension spring fastened on the housing, in the case of which device the transmission means is fitted, in a manner which is not described, in an eyelet of the spring which has been produced by bending up the last winding of said spring.
- the object of the invention is thus to provide, in a simple manner, a device for connecting a spring to a band-like or cable-like transmission means, which device is easy to assemble and in which the risk of fracture is avoided as far as possible.
- the transmission means is fitted, by means of a connecting part connected fixedly to it, on a hook-in part connected to the spring.
- the inventive device for connecting a spring to a band-like or cable-like transmission means provides, in a simple manner, a device which is easy to assemble and in which the risk of fracture is avoided as far as possible.
- the hook-in part in the receiving region for the connecting part, is in the form of a centrally slotted eyelet, of which the front and lateral delimitations are formed by two hooks whose ends project towards one another at a spacing apart, this further facilitating assembly.
- the connecting part is in the form of a flat plate which, in two regions arranged one beside the other at a spacing apart, is offset at least by the thickness of the hook-in part, this resulting in further-simplified positioning of the connecting part according to the invention in the hook-in part according to the invention being possible without the reliability of the connection being reduced.
- the connecting part is placed on the hook-in part, for example, from above, the front ends of the offset regions coming to butt against the inner edges of the hooks of the hook-in part as a result of the stressing of the spring in the use state.
- the spacing between the offset regions at most corresponds to the spacing between the ends of the hooks of the hook-in part, thus achieving additional guidance of the inserted connecting part.
- the connecting part has a region which is overlapped by a plate, at least a spacing corresponding to the thickness of the hook-in part remaining between the underside of the plate and the surface of the offset regions since the overlap makes it possible for the loose connecting part to be secured on the hook-in part even before stressing of the spring commences.
- the slotted eyelet is of an essentially rectangular shape with essentially rectangular hooks
- the connecting element is of an essentially cuboidal shape, as a result of which it is easy to produce the parts of the device according to the invention.
- the inner edges of the hooks, which form a delimitation of the eyelet opening, and the end surfaces of the offset regions are arranged so as to be inclined, in the direction of the spacing, towards the eyelet opening, which, as a result of the hooking-behind action and of consequently improved securing, means that assembly is facilitated further.
- the transmission means is preferably a cable produced from a thermoplastic synthetic material. It has been shown, in practice, that, for example, steel cables wear more quickly than synthetic material cables.
- One transmission means which has been shown to be particularly durable in practice is a braided cable made of polyester.
- connection part being produced so as to encapsulate the transmission element.
- the connecting part is preferably produced from polyoxymethylene (POM) this having proven to be particularly fracture-resistant in practice.
- POM polyoxymethylene
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a base of a domestic dishwasher
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of the device according to the invention, the illustration corresponding to the detail II in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a connecting part taken along the line III--III shown in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the connecting part taken along the line IV--IV shown in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the connecting part taken along the line V--V shown in FIG. 2.
- a domestic dishwasher (not explained in any more detail) has a door 2 which is located at the front, can be pivoted around a horizontal spindle 3 and is mounted in a machine base 1, which is part of a housing.
- This door 2 is connected, in a manner which is not described in any more detail, on both sides of the front of the machine base 1 by means of in each case one hinge 4 connected to the door 2.
- a device 10 for weight compensation comprises a tension spring 5 which is fastened in the machine base 1 and is connected to the door 2, or, in the exemplary embodiment, to the hinge 4, by means of a band-like or cable-like transmission means 11, in the depicted exemplary embodiment by means of a cable 11 made of a thermoplastic synthetic material, preferably a braided cable 11 made of polyester.
- This cable 11 butts, with stressing, against a deflection roller 17, arranged in a carrier 12 fastened in the machine base 1, and partially encloses said deflection roller.
- the transmission means in the exemplary embodiment the cable 11, is fitted, by means of a connecting part 21 connected fixedly to it, on a hook-in part 30 connected fixedly to the spring 5, as can best be seen in FIG. 2.
- the hook-in part 30 is in the form of a centrally slotted eyelet 31, of which the front and lateral delimitations are formed by two hooks 32, 33 whose ends 34, 35 project towards one another at a spacing x apart.
- the connecting part 21 is in the form of a flat plate which, in two regions 22, 23 arranged one beside the other at a spacing y apart, as shown in FIG. 3 is offset at least by the thickness of the hook-in part 30.
- this distance y between the offset regions 22, 23 at most corresponds to the distance x between the ends 34, 35 of the hooks 32, 33 of the hook-in part 30.
- the distance y between the two offset regions 22, 23 is selected to be somewhat smaller than the distance x between the ends 34, 35 of the hooks 32, 33, in order to facilitate the operation of fitting the connecting part 21 in the hook-in part 30.
- the connecting part 21 has a region which is overlapped by a plate 24, at least a spacing corresponding to the thickness of the hook-in part 30 remaining between the underside of the plate 24 and the surface of the offset regions 22, 23 as shown in FIG. 4.
- a plate above the offset region 22 is left out in order for it to be possible to illustrate the hook 33 more clearly.
- FIG. 5 there is shown a cross-sectional view of the rear part of the connecting part 21.
- the slotted eyelet 31 is of an essentially rectangular shape with essentially rectangular hooks 32, 33, the inner edges 36, 37 of the hooks 32, 33 which form a delimitation of the eyelet opening, being arranged so as to be inclined, in the direction of the spacing x, towards the eyelet opening.
- the connecting part 21 is of an essentially cuboidal shape, the end surfaces 25, 26 of the offset regions 22, 23 likewise being inclined corresponding to the inner edges 36, 37 of the hooks 32, 33.
- the hook-in part 30 is fastened on the spring 5 by means of lateral projections 38, 39, a trapezoidal insertion aid 40 which is located opposite the eyelet 31 and adjoins the lateral projections 38, 39 being pushed into the spring 5 until at least the first winding springs over the outer edges of the lateral projections 38, 39 and encloses the hook-in part 30 in the vicinity of the eyelet 31.
- the carrier 12 which has a projecting abutment stub 13, is mounted pivotably on the machine base 1, the pivot point 16 of the carrier 12 being arranged at the greatest possible vertical spacing a from the door-bearing spindle 3.
- the cable 11 butts against the abutment stub 13 of the carrier 12 on a side situated opposite an adjustment screw 15.
- the adjustment screw 15 butts against that end of the carrier 12 which is located towards the door 2, remote from the pivot point 16 of the carrier 12, for which purpose the carrier 12 has an abutment surface 14.
- the deflection roller 17 is mounted rotatably at the pivot point 16 of the carrier 12.
- the pivot point 16 of the carrier 12 is formed by a bearing bolt 18 which is fastened on the machine base 1 and on which the deflection roller 17 is also mounted rotatably.
- the adjustment screw 15 is screwed in in the direction of the carrier 12, in which case it comes to butt against the abutment surface 14 of the carrier 12 and the latter is pivoted, around the bearing bolt 18 forming the pivot point 16 of the carrier 12, in the direction of the interior of the machine base 1, the cable 11 being carried along as a result of said cable butting against the abutment stub 13.
- the cable 11 As a result of the cable 11 being acted on in this way, it is displaced out of the position in which the adjustment screw 15 is not activated, i.e. out of the angle by which it encloses the deflection roller 17 and which is predetermined in the rest position by the selected arrangement, which displacement results in the cable 11/tension spring 5 assembly lengthening and, since the cable 11 cannot extend to any considerable extent, achieves extension of the tension spring 5 and thus an increase in the tension-spring force.
- the device 10 In FIG. 1, the device 10 is shown with solid lines in the rest position and with chain-dotted lines in the position in which it has been pivoted to the maximum extent.
- the connecting part 21 is positioned on the slotted eyelet 31 of the hook-in part 30 from above, the web which is formed in the spacing y between the offset regions 22, 23 dropping into the slot formed by the spacing x between the ends 34, 35 of the hooks 32, 33. Thereafter, e.g. by pulling on the cable 11, the connecting part 21, which is now located in the eyelet opening, is moved in the direction of the hook inner edges 36, 37 until the end surfaces 25, 26 of the offset regions 22, 23 butt against the hook inner edges 36, 37 and the latter are thus at least partially overlapped by the plates 24.
- the stressing of the spring 5 in the use state causes the front end surfaces 25, 26 of the offset regions 22, 23 to remain in abutment against the inner edges 36, 37 of the hooks 32, 33 of the hook-in part 30.
- inventive device 20 for connecting a spring 5 to a band-like or cable-like transmission means 11, in the exemplary embodiment to a cable 11, provides, in a simple manner, a device 20 which is easy to assemble and in which the risk of fracture is avoided as far as possible.
